21-Calculated Betrayal: The Murder of Toni Henthorn

from Criminally Absurd · host Cosy Nasiedlak and Susie Lewis-Peters

Episode 21: Calculated Betrayal: The Murder of Toni HenthornThis episode discusses the murder of Toni Henthorn, which is a chilling case of deception and premeditation. In 2012, Toni, a 50 year-old ophthalmologist from Colorado, fell to her death during a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park with her husband, Harold Henthorn. At first, Harold claimed it was a tragic accident, but investigators soon uncovered disturbing details. Authorities found inconsistencies in Harold’s story, financial motives, including a $4.7 million life insurance policy on Toni, and eerie similarities to the mysterious 1995 death of Harold’s fires wife, Lynn Henthorn, who also died under suspicious circumstances. Harold was eventually convicted of Toni’s murder in 2015 and sentenced to life in prison.
